Insecurity, fear and the tools to leave them all behind

Our lives depend on trust; the food we eat the water we drink supply our survival and well-being. We trust that cars stop at the red light and allow others to pass. Without having faith in others, the system, we become stiff and tense and suspicious of everything. Overprotected children, as young as 14 months old, grow anxious around strangers.

Danger provokes primal physical reactions, such as sweating, increased heart rate, and high adrenaline levels in the blood, called the fight or flight response. In some cases, anger can spur constructive change, but fear causes paralysis. The sense of dread prevents constructive reasoning, thinking, and the capacity to plan or act. “Fear makes the wolf bigger than he is,” says the German proverb. Fear shoots down every opportunity for help.

The impending instability of fear triggers a constant and futile search for security in the environment. The thoughts of vulnerability kill the likelihood of success. Presenting your story as a failure and hopeless case will manifest itself as a failure in real life. The perceived difficulty is a fear that can instigate procrastination by manufacturing artificial business, excuses, and complete blockage or exclusion of a subject matter. Inaction is a sure way to cement immobility, indecision, and helplessness.

Trust, like a chandelier, provides a complete, coherent picture. In contrast, fear is like a flashlight; it focuses on a small, highly detailed reality section. Try to recognize fear in yourself. Any time fear influences your decisions, act! As jumping into cold water cures timidity, the most effective way to eliminate fear is to start a meaningful activity. The intimidating and often nervous first step generates familiarity, which is profoundly empowering. Because fear is a paralyzing tightness of pressure, almost any small but decisive action pierces its hold and diminishes fear response automatically and instantaneously. Defeating fear in this way boosts confidence. Doing this exercise will not only increase your fear resistance but will also reformulate your life.

Abused and neglected dogs can be effectively rehabilitated by introducing a daily feeding and walking schedule. Creating order is a powerful stress eliminator for people too. Children thrive on the predictability and organization of their lives. Keeping order in the environment balances and calms the mind. Create order in your surroundings by organizing your daily, weekly schedule into a regular, predictable routine, which gives a profoundly empowering sense of control.
